Sorry if this is not the right board, if not please point me in the right direction :-)
Just wanting to see if anyone would be interested in starting a weight loss challenge with prizes.  I was thinking, depending upon how many people sign up, like a $10 buy in and 1st, 2nd 3rd place prizes (pearl jam gift cards).  I would create a Facebook group and every week you would weigh in and we can keep track of our progress there, motivate each other, positive encouragement, etc.  I was thinking of doing an 8 week challenge starting next week.  
Just putting my feelers out to see who's interested.  If you are, post here and I will try and get something going!

    Good luck!   Each Jan-Mar I do a low calorie, no exercise diet.  Can’t be healthy.  I then gain 20 pounds the rest of the year and repeat.  One more nice meal tonight and then it is cereal, 400 calorie frozen lunch and 500 calorie frozen dinner for the next 2-3 months.

    Yes, I need to take off the holiday pounds! Maybe this’ll motivate me.

    Damn I wish you posted this a month ago! Unfortunately I’m on a diet already.  Fajita burritos, steak and cheese subs, Italian subs, ranch shakes and hot roast beef sandwiches. That’s all I eat anymore, I’m up to two of each a day now, and it’s been working great!  

    Pm me for nutrition facts.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    No offense, but that sounds torturous man! There’s a lot to eat that isn’t frozen and tastes loads better in that caloric zone you’re shooting for.

    It helps I am working 70-80 hour weeks during Jan-Mar so that I am too busy/stressed to care about food.  The frozen meals are convenient.l when I don’t have a lot of time.  There are actually decent frozen meals now but I know there are healthier options.
